Category Archives: What’s New Gift Ideas

It started out with a cool recipe I saw on Facebook for bacon wrapped pickles. I thought that sounded fun but my family immediately voted thumbs down to that idea declaring no way they would try it. Since I already happened to have some nice chicken tenderloins defrosting they became my recipe adventure of the day what could be bad about bacon wrapped chicken!

Easy peasy I wrapped each tenderloin in a strip of uncooked bacon. Popped it in the oven at 425 for about a half hour and 15 minutes later the whole house was buzzing in the kitchen wanting to know what smelled so good. Even the cats came out sniffing and staring up at me for a taste of whatever I was up to.

Bacon lovers just don't have to feel guilty when it's wrapped around protein filled chicken. This quick and easy recipe was a huge hit especially when everyone picked their own favorite dunking sauce. For the youngest ketchup was the go to yum. For the adults it was ranch dressing, habanero sauce or my husbands favorite honey mustard dip.

Let us know if you try it join us on Facebook and send some pics or your idea for the recipe. We love to share. Next time we are trying this out on the BBQ grill!

Valentine’s Day is famous for red roses and amazing chocolates delivered in person, sent by FTD as a surprise at work, and oh how the co-workers will make you famous if you are the lucky name on the card of the flower delivery on Valentine’s Day or any day really.

What would you rather be surprised with, a beautiful arrangement of flowers, roses maybe or an amazing chocolate assortment served up with love! I can’t choose, so I’m hoping for both. It really is a thoughtful touch, hint, hint – and such a great surprise.

I love hearts and glitter and glam and well…..love! Love heart-shaped everything in red and pink and white and I love Valentine’s Day. My very favorite holiday ever because everything is so cute. Heart shaped candy, adorable stuffed animals and Happy Valentine’s Day cards. So fun. Some people hate Valentine’s Day and it’s message of never ending love and faith and commitment. But everyone loves something. And this is a great time of the year to remind yourself what you love and why. And treat yourself. To a box of candy, a cute mug with hearts and flowers just for you. I love my iPhone too and had to treat myself to, of course, a cute cover with hearts. Love yourself. Have fun. Be who you are and show the world what it means to you.
